Different machine different rules.. On a bike you have to cancel the indicators. In a car you don't! Never had an issue with it.

Dead mans switch on the door, you rig it when you leave. It goes off when you enter but you know where the switch is. Plumb it into a really REALLY loud bell or siren from ebay.. Very simple, very cheap. Make sure it's loud enough to raise the dead too! On a side note, as A teen I had an NSR...

Any particular reason for that??

Left or right leg with inside of foot facing bike then leg over on either side stand (at work and out and about) or centre stand (at home)...

That's the thing... If you do that it'll just end up like this again in 3 or 4 weeks unless you find the time to thoroughly wash the bike every night after work.. It's almost impossible to keep it clean clean...

I only washed it on Saturday morning... This is ONE journey to work (accept the ruse of course)! It makes me sad :(

from another post: I ride my bike every day accept for snow. Come rain or shine, hail or fog I ride it 30 to 35 miles. 15 to 20 miles to work from Faversham to Ashford. 15 to 20 miles home from Ashford to Faversham. Along the same roads, all year round: See this map! Currently just shy of...

On a completely removed subject.. I do get so envious of the pictures you guys post of your bikes... They are always so clean :)

Funny, I don't think I've ever used the horn in anger.. Bouncing the bike off the rev limiter however... That get's peoples attention!

I've been using Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart for 30k miles... Never let me down.. I tired a bridgestone rear once and it was shite.. Slid all over the place so changed it back to a Roadsmart after 700 miles :) BTW: I'm no fair weather biker.. I ride the tracer 30 miles a day EVERY DAY even tried...

I don't know why anyone would think a company like that.. or any other digital company isn't collecting, using and selling data on you/us/everyone... Every website you visit, every app you download even windows it's self is spying on you to some degree or another...

Mine did that a few times (16 MT09 Tracer).. I checked all the plugs for the sensors front and rear (unplugged, plugged back in a few times) and it cleared up!

Mine does and so has every other bike I've ever had.. I think it's a feature.. Turn it to limit water ingress and lock icing!

Yeah.. That's normal.. Mines always done it. There is a NOTICEABLE difference in engine noise between clutch in and out at idle!

That bike is clllllean!

Yes! Especially going round this bend on the way home in the evening: Here!

I use kits like that all the time.. I do get an awful lot of punctures and to be honest I carry a full toolkit with me. I tend to take the wheel off at the side of the road and do a proper fix with mushroom patches!! Getting a slug out is a real pain.

Shit your bike is clean :) Mine's not even that clean immediately after I wash it!

What makes you say that? As far as I know and ABS system doesn't act within the fluid aside from the piston/valve faces.. Not sure how to explain it but the pistons/valves literally drop the pressure in the system by creating a "chamber" or "void" for the fluid to drop into. Kind of like the...

The front brakes on the tracer always felt a bit spongy and didn't really inspire.. At all! I could easily pull the lever almost all the way in to the grip on all but the widest setting.. Being a new bike I never really though much of it, they worked well enough to bring it to a halt quick sharp...
